Reply to form data from a web page?

Is this possible? …

I would like the results of a simple form to be posted on a (private) web page, from which I can generate an email reply. Thank you!

2) If using PHP, you can use the mail() to manually or automatically generate an email reply from the web page in 1).

You'll need a server-side language to send emails and to make it "private".

Perhaps ASP, JSP, ColdFusion, etc are more to your liking?

I agree with criterion9. You will need some sort server side scripting language (PHP etc etc) to do what you want.
